Abstract
A combination of various fuzzy systems on identification and evaluation of soccer players’ position is represented in this article. In other words, fuzzy logic, as an appropriate means, has been applied to study soccer player's personality traits and skills to figure out which position suits each individual best. Soccer experts are aware of the fact that a successful soccer player in any intended position must bear some specific characteristics. Using fuzzy logic, a model has been offered, called soccer player position identification. This model has some important features: First, the most appropriate position for each individual player can be identified. Second, this system offers some solutions to problems caused by the experimental and intuitive couches’ ideas about player positioning which decreases the need for experts and professional couches. Third, this model overcomes the problems in the analysis of player positioning without the need for quantitative scales, and last but not least, this easy and interpretable method, applied to 264 soccer players' assessments have revealed that the designed fuzzy system is able to identify the qualities among players.
